DWP/DLC Partners with Museum of Early Trades and Crafts
The Drew Writing Project (DWP) and Digital Literacies Collaborative (DLC) have received a large grant as part of the National Writing Project’s Building a More Perfect Union program, which helps humanities organizations recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant will fund the DWP’s “Rethinking the Narrative: Historical and Artifactual Literacies and Museum Curation” project, done in partnership with the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts in Drew’s hometown of Madison. Teachers will be trained to develop historical and artifactual literacies in students from underserved populations and engage their students in creating their own narratives about museum objects, providing content for future exhibits and programming for K-12 students.
“By partnering with the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, we connect with downtown Madison and promote education in humanities, a hallmark of the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.” – Dr. Kristen Turner, Professor and Director of Teacher Education
